Both tattooed eyebrows and embroidered eyebrows are methods to help individuals achieve their desired brow shape. Many perceive these procedures as straightforward, believing they can be done anytime at a beauty salon or nail studio by a skilled technician.However, both are cosmetic procedures that require professional medical practitioners and carry certain contraindications. Below are the key contraindications for eyebrow tattooing and embroidery:
(1) Individuals with infections such as boils or folliculitis on the face or eyebrow area.
(2) Those with eyebrow lesions including hemangiomas, sebaceous cysts, or seborrheic dermatitis.
(3) Individuals with keloid-prone skin.
(4) Those with mental or neurological disorders, or unrealistic/excessively high expectations for post-procedure results.
(5) Individuals allergic to eyebrow tattooing agents.
(6) Patients with blood disorders like hemophilia or thrombocytopenia.
(7) Individuals with infectious diseases like hepatitis B should avoid eyebrow tattooing to prevent cross-infection.
(8) Those with congenital or acquired ptosis (drooping eyelid) are contraindicated for eyebrow tattooing. The affected side's eyebrow often sits higher than the unaffected side, making precise design extremely challenging and frequently leading to unsatisfactory results.
